Lon and I haven’t been feeling too great. Lon has food poisoning (confirmed by a physician) and I might have the same in a minor way. Unfortunately, Lon is only allowed to eat rice, bread, and tea. I just wanted to eat light, and more importantly, I didn’t want to spend a ton of time cooking.
Thankfully, I have Salt Water Duck from last night, a ton of Swan Tsai (pickled mustard greens), and rice cakes. I always keep chicken broth on hand, so I had the perfect meal in minutes. The rice cakes need to be cooked separately, like most noodles. These came already cut in slices so all you have to do is boil it for 2 minutes. (Feel free to use other types of noodles or even rice.)
I took a couple of pieces of the duck and pulled off all the fat (remember, the meal had to be light), threw it in a pot.
hey take care both of you and get well soon. food poisoning is really bad so hope lon’s back on his feet and at the dining table soon. There is nothing like comfort food when one is unwell. In india one recommended food during food poisoining is steamed rice mixed with home made curd and roasted curry leaves…but stick to Chinese soup if that works for you
Thanks Knife, we’re both up and about today. Lon has a bit more to go for 100% but we’re on our way.
well the wekends coming up so buck up 🙂
I love the chewiness of rice cakes no matter how it’s prepared. In a soup is a great way to cook them during the winter.
Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Knife, Lon is eating real food again. Thanks!
Gaga, I like rice cakes a lot. My dad loves rice cakes.
Ooooh, I’ve only had those rice cakes ONCE ever. I really liked them! (I don’t know… it seems like they’re not in most restaurants here. Had them in a Shanghainese restaurant with somebody else ordering.)
TS, I’m pretty sure your Asian supermarkets should have it. They are definitely popular in Shanghainese food. You can find it in Korean food too (different shape usually).
